Today, July 30th at 1am my best friend and neighbor passed away. She was a believer that everyone has goodness within their hearts. She never judged people and she was in line first if a neighbor or a stranger needed  help. When my husband passed away so quickly, Dana would  sit with me, cry with me, make sure I ate and rested. She was strong in her faith. So tonight I share a little bit of Dana with you ladies. When I went to bed I had no idea Dana would no longer be across the street. You never know what tomorrow will bring. Hold close your family and friends and tell them how special they are to you. Thanking all of you for listening. Blessings to all......

@Sheila Morelan   So sorry for your loss!  We have lost a couple neighbors over the years.  Long time neighbors too!  One who died in 2010, I knew over 30 years, but my neighbor knew her since they moved in 1965!  It was such a loss to her. Her kids grew up with hers.  They exchanged babysitting...helped each other out everyday. Everyday just about they had coffee together.  They were beasties!   Oh my neighbor felt the loss for a long time time. I felt for my neighbors loss more than the other neighbor who passed!

@Sheila Morelan  That was a wonderful tribute to your friend.  I lost my dear friend/neighbor about three years ago and I still miss her so much.  Sending good wishes your way as you grieve Dana's loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss, @Sheila Morelan. Your words are very wise and I'm sure you were just as good a neighbor to your friend as she was to you. May God bless and comfort you and everyone who loved her. Heart

As one poster has said:  Good friends are hard to find and as one ages, it gets harder still.

 

I join my condolences to all those who have or will post their condolences to you.

 

The grieving you will find yourself immersed in is a simple sign of how much they meant to you.  Hopefully you will reach the point soon where the memory of them becomes a comfort or treasure you hold in your heart. ❤️
